7.11.3 Findings
(A) The Town is
experiencing rapid population and employment growth, in part, because of
its proximity to regional employment facilities such as the Research Triangle Park and
Raleigh Durham International Airport.
(B) The anticipated population and
employment growth in the Town creates
demand for additional capital improvement funds
for roadway facilities, which include but are not limited to, streets,
intersection improvements,
culverts and road-related drainage improvements,
turn lanes, and signalization.
(C) The Town and
the North Carolina Department of Transportation are responsible for and
committed to the provision of such road-related improvements at
a level of service necessary to support anticipated residential and
employment growth.
(D) The Town has
adopted and the North Carolina Department of Transportation has approved,
the Town of
Cary Official Map of Thoroughfare Plan, which identifies additional road
capital improvements necessary
to serve new
construction. The Town has
also developed the Cary Comprehensive Transportation
Plan, which addresses long-term road improvement needs
to the year 2015 and beyond.
(E) The General Assembly of
North Carolina has
authorized the Town to
impose a transportation development fee
on new
construction.
(F) The transportation development fee
herein established is directly proportional to the need for new road improvements generated
by new
construction and reasonably benefits the construction that
pays the fee.
